wormy

I could understand this argument were it not for the fact that we keep correcting away from it anyway. Sometimes he comes on and we switch to 5, sometimes he comes on and we switch to 3. If it happens game after game (which it is right now), is that not questionable? I will say that I don't think there's much Howe could do right now with the squad overall apart from this switch and yes, there's every chance it doesn't cure our ills. But why are we not trying? If it keeps being targeted over and over. And over. Why can't we find out what difference a change makes? I would like to state for the record that I love Howe and hope we find success with him and have been loathe to criticise him to any great extent up to now. However.. Is it not a concern if there's absolutely no deviating from the plan of a tall full back to make a three in transition when it has clearly not been working for an elongated period of time now?

Are we not allowed to find out, though? How many games in a row does he have to come on to right what clearly keeps becoming a wrong?

I'm a big fan of the relentlessness, if nothing else.

Have to wonder why he's not at least on the bench today.

Goodness

Mature. Real mature.

Bit too snarky this, tbh.

Care to offer an opinion or just funny little pictures to back up your argument? Real clever.

Never got one. Never was part of the clique.

Just asking questions, mate.

Getting back into a rhythm? Sounds like code for half-arsing it which we don't have time for. Fingers crossed we see a full-blooded performance from Paully D today in the place of this waste of space.

I feel like Michael Oliver is one of the more reasonable refs, although that's not saying much, but I fucking hate his face.

Well there it is. 'kin wankers.

Love how you've got a folder of pictures ready for every occasion.

Spoken like a true rager.

He's looking juicy. I'm hopeful.

It's a strangely satisfying style of counter attacking play to watch but the fact you need 5 or 6 first time touches to pay off for it to be successful means I'm just waiting to see at what point it fails.

Why not both so we can be equally bipolar next week?

I'm prepared to hear him out. Maybe the furthest postcode gets increased odds to balance things out. Sounds fair imo.

Nah he'll be raring to go to take Gillespie's place on our bench next season.

Hopefully someone has the energy to keep up with the number of pre-#HereWeGo!s he manages to squeeze out of it.

Are we sure they've entirely discounted still letting him play tomorrow? Let him strip off and show it off to shock Bournemouth in to submission Cody Rhodes-style.

Howe is rarely one for showing emotion outside of a few on-pitch celebrations and I think he's just trying to treat it like water off a duck's arse. They may get along fine, they may also be distant outside of work-required interactions and he doesn't give much of a shit for him. It's been barely 18 months at the end of the day. Besides, if we're sick of the speculation I wouldn't be surprised if people inside the club are over it too and just want it done with.

Putting aside the bias that shirt design does actually look shite. The orange looks really out of place.

It all feels so fresh and new! Then I remember it's not CM 01/02 anymore and I need to give players individual instructions and team talks that make the wankers irrationally angry even when I compliment them.
